Wiring and Connections Wiring and Connections Overview - Speaker Wire Technology (SWT) Speaker Wire Technology (SWT) allows both data and audio signals to travel over the same four conductor wire. This remarkable technology removes the need for control wire since the control and audio signals are shared on the same wire. The reliability and simplicity of this system has been proven for years.
Wiring and Connections Cabling Instructions This installation uses low voltage cabling similar to telephone and alarm wiring, and as such does not commonly have very many restrictions on their installation. However rules may vary in different regions. Be sure to check for any wiring restrictions required by the electrical code in your area.
Wiring and Connections Connecting To a Tango Audio Controller Connect the Tango Amplifier to the Tango Audio Controller via the 4-pin connector labelled “From Controller” on the rear panel of the Amplifier. Connecting SWT Keypads Connect SWT Keypads (DAS-MET-6SRC or K-Series) to the Tango Amplifier via the SWT connector labelled “To Keypad” on the rear panel of the Amplifier. When stripping cable for use with SWT connector, only strip away about ¼” (6mm) of the insulation from each wire.
